right down to its foundation," calling the film "a shoddy urban pastiche jam-packed with the same sophomoric, faux profundity of that irksome, half-ambiguous title." Neil Genzlinger of The New York Times felt the film's overall plot connecting the vignettes came out of a "cheesy police thriller" but said that it proved satisfactory enough to warrant "some fine performances and an embrace of understatement." He also singled out Miranda Bailey's performance, saying that she "expertly conveys both the exhaustion and the loneliness of that role." Joseph Airdo of AXS praised the ensemble cast for giving "powerfully nuanced" performances, highlighting Cook's contribution for "melting away any preconceived notions one might have about his dramatic abilities" and Leutwyler for his handling of the film's multiple storylines, calling it "a spectacular – if sobering – cinematic effort." Home media Answers to Nothing was released on DVD on February 28, 2012.
